Abstract

Based on experience with WOFF 1.0, which is widely deployed, this specification was developed to provide improved compression and thus lower use of network bandwidth, while still allowing fast decompression even on mobile devices. This is achieved firstly by a content-aware preprocessing step, and secondly by an improved entropy coding stage compared to the Flate compression used in WOFF 1.0.
